As a long-time .NET Developer, there's no way in hell you're replacing my Visual Studio with Visual Studio Code. I'll sooner switch to Rider (which I have a license for and like to use on a Mac.) VSCode is a text editor on st

Thank you for your work. My 9 year old son has worn a Dexcom for the past 3 years (Medtronic prior to that) and it's a godsend to be able to pair it with Sugarmate.io so we get phone calls in the middle of the night if his BG goes low

This is done by design. Constraining the supply while demand steadily increases is a recipe for increasing the salaries and the prestige of being a doctor. What's the medical equivalent of 'code schools'? There isn't an

People change, their priorities & interests change. They owned the company, they paid their employees salaries - beyond that they owed them nothing unless otherwise negotiated. It just sounds like sour grapes.

Yes, whenever people storm the Capital, calling for the VP's head - that's totally not a big deal. Maybe in the 3rd world that's just another Wednesday, but in the U.S. it was a very big fucking deal.

They fear Trump voters that will vote however he tells them to, but I do not think they fear them because they are armed.

The murder rate varies widely by state/area. Chicago's murder rate is significantly higher than its suburbs. The murder rate in the town (37k residents) I live in (in the south) is effectively zero. I wouldn't doubt that al

Not really. This should be an emergeny-use only type support. But don't penalize (by making them pay) for a screwup on your end.

It seems like companies can't seem to get their act together to offer some kind of rapid escalation/remediation service. Maybe it's time for legislation to force their hand. This could potentially cost a business a ton of m

This is such a hot potato subject that it's difficult to have a rational discussion about.

It's not that surprising - this hospital is in a rural area in a tiny town (~3500 residents.) Rural folks are more likely to be anti-vax. This really isn't newsworthy.
